Amazon.com now has a dedicated wireless store in beta that makes shopping for a new wireless phone and plan as simple as ever. The site breaks the plans and/or phones by carrier, features, price, color, or brand. Plus, with Amazon.com’s great deals on mobile devices (with a new contract), this might be the cheapest place you can purchase a new phone.

For those of us with an AT&T-branded BlackBerry Bold (9000), you’ll know how annoying it is that you cannot choose which network mode you want to be on. By default, the BlackBerry OS on the Bold is set to 3G which drastically reduces battery life because the Bold is constantly searching for the strongest 3G signal — even when the 3G signal is non-existent or just flat-out sucks.
But with the newest Bold OS update (4.6.0.282), you can now choose to be on 2G only which will help improve battery life if all you’re doing is BBMing where a fast network speed isn’t necessarily needed.

David Pogue, New York Times’ sarcastic and sometimes-funny technology columnist, has created the Pogue-O-Matic, an interactive website to help you choose the best gadget gift this holiday season (for you or for someone else).
The website will make you feel silly, but it actually does help in narrowing down some choices if you’re shopping for cameras, TVs, smartphones, or camcorders. Go ahead and start with the Pogue-O-Matic!
